Limb Lengthening Surgery

It is an orthopedic surgical procedure to increase leg length for health problems or aesthetic reasons.

It is applied by cutting the bone that is planned to be lengthened and using an external or internal fixator to widen the gap between the bisected ends.

Every day, while the bone in the expanded space is stretched, new bone is produced in the opened area.

Height extension is achieved by the body's own bone, soft tissues, ligaments, blood vessels and nerves that surround and support it, as well as the organism's capacity to form new bone.

There is no need for bone removal from another part of the body and after the extension, the person fully regained their normal functions.
